Live On CNBC: Stephanie Link Trims Crowdsource; Buys More Palo Alto Networks

Could a $97.4 billion offer be dismissed with just three words? OpenAI CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44522899/anthropic-ceo-says-ai-could-write-90-of-code-in-3-to-6-months-warns-every-industry-will-be-affected">Sam Altman</a> did just that, setting off a legal showdown that has left everyone talking. In a recent development, OpenAI&#8217;s board unanimously rejected an unsolicited takeover bid led by Elon Musk. Sam&#8217;s &#8220;No Thank You.&#8221; response on the Musk-owned <a href="https://x.com/sama/status/1889059531625464090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1889059531625464090%7Ctwgr%5E326f52f0a64183aecb1fa56f347c0ca415b31260%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techtimes.com%2Farticles%2F309338%2F20250211%2Felon-musk-makes-974-billion-bid-openai-sam-altman-fires-back-no-thank-you.htm">post on X</a> was clear and swift.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High Stakes for AI&#8217;s Future</h2>
Altman and Musk once collaborated to create the company in 2015. Musk, who later left the board on Feb. 21, 2018, has repeatedly criticized OpenAI&#8217;s shift from its nonprofit roots toward a for-profit model.&nbsp;

</ul>
Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman last year. He claimed Altman had approached him to fund a nonprofit focused on developing AI to benefit humanity, which was now not the case.&nbsp;
Musk argued that the transformation involving lucrative partnerships with companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) could lead to self-dealing.
OpenAI recently announced plans to expedite the legal proceedings regarding this matter. Both parties agreed to a trial scheduled for December in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. However, whether a jury will hear the case remains pending.&nbsp;

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44466170/why-the-hate-and-violence-against-me-elon-musk-questions-backlash-says-hes-only-made-products-people-love-never-physically-hurt-anyone">Musk&#8217;s</a> request for a preliminary injunction to halt OpenAI&#8217;s transition to a for-profit entity. She stated on March 4 that Musk did not meet the required burden of proof for such an injunction.
However, Gonzalez acknowledged the public interest in the case and agreed to expedite a trial to address the legality of OpenAI&#8217;s conversion.
In a blog post,<a href="https://openai.com/index/court-rejects-elon/"> OpenAI</a> defended its restructuring efforts. &#8220;We welcome the court&#8217;s March 4 decision rejecting Musk&#8217;s latest attempt to slow down OpenAI for his personal benefit.&#8221; said in a blog post.&nbsp;&nbsp;

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
The company insists that converting to a traditional for-profit structure is essential to attract further investment. OpenAI&#8217;s latest funding round raised $6.6 billion, as confirmed by OpenAI. There are discussions for another round of up to $40 billion led by SoftBank Group.
The additional funds are aimed at supporting its ambitious projects and facilitating the transition from its nonprofit origins. This restructuring is deemed essential by the company to attract further investments necessary for the development of advanced AI models. Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1889062013109703009?lang=en">has used X </a>to call Altman a &#8220;swindler&#8221; and to mock the company&#8217;s valuation.

Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) CEO Brian Armstrong is making a strong case for unlocking onchain interest for stablecoins, arguing that it offers a practical path to empowering consumers, expanding global financial access and reinforcing U.S. dollar dominance in the digital era.
What Happened: In a blog post <a href="https://x.com/brian_armstrong/article/1906723887112401179">published</a> Tuesday, Armstrong laid out a concise argument in favor of allowing interest to flow directly to stablecoin holders, similar to traditional savings accounts.
"Consumers deserve a bigger piece of the pie," he wrote. "Opening the door for onchain interest will force us all to up our game for the ultimate benefit of consumers."
Currently, stablecoin issuers like Circle—whose (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) token is backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars—invest reserves in low-risk assets such as short-term Treasuries.
The interest earned is typically kept by the issuer. 
Armstrong is pushing for a regulatory change that would allow stablecoin holders to receive this yield directly, bypassing intermediaries and mirroring the structure of interest-bearing bank accounts.
The stakes are high for consumers, Armstrong argued. While the average federal funds rate hovered around 4.75% in 2024, the typical consumer savings account paid just 0.41%—or as low as 0.01% in many cases. 
With inflation at roughly 3%, savers lost purchasing power in real terms. 
"Onchain interest democratizes access to the market rate yield," Armstrong wrote. "It gives regular people a fair shot at maintaining and growing their wealth."
Beyond U.S. borders, the implications are even more expansive. Armstrong pointed out that billions of people globally remain underbanked or lack access to stable fiat currencies.

Onchain interest via USD-backed stablecoins could provide these users with interest-earning digital dollars, accessible from any internet-connected device—without branch visits, remittance fees, or hyperinflation risks.
Armstrong also stressed the macro benefits for the U.S. economy. Stablecoin issuers are already among the largest buyers of U.S. Treasuries. 
By enabling interest to be distributed to stablecoin users, Armstrong believes it would drive further global demand for dollar-backed assets, strengthening the dollar's role in the digital age. 
"More yield in consumers' hands means more spending, saving, investing—fueling economic growth in all local economies where stablecoins are held," he said.
However, current securities laws limit this potential. Unlike banks, stablecoin issuers face strict disclosure and compliance burdens if they attempt to pay interest to users—barriers Armstrong says are outdated. 
"The tech is all there, but the law hasn't caught up," he explained.
What&#8217;s Next: With Congress now actively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44516699/u-s-congress-advances-stablecoin-regulation-with-the-introduction-of-the-stable-act">debating stablecoin legislation</a>, Armstrong called on lawmakers to create a level playing field that allows regulated stablecoin issuers to share interest with users—without classifying those stablecoins as securities.
"We can choose to level the playing field and ensure these laws pave a way," he urged, "or we can protect an outdated system that pays the average person 0.01%."
